Regulars return for their value-for-money portions and flavourful meats. The chicken wings, for instance, are well-marinated in Thai spices and herbs such as coriander and lemongrass, so they’re extra fragrant. They’re deep-fried till crispy on the outside, and juicy and tender on the inside. Thereafter, the chicken wings are finished with fried shallots for even more crunch.
